First time watching this trailer, I can say that this film is going to be an action film because of the violence, flashing images and light cause from weapons and explosion.
The trailer starts showing the main feature of the country losing control. One of the features is ruined, abandoned car in the city with young children playing. This suggests to the audience that the country has no money to control the waste and also no money to hire public services such as police or scrap department means that the country is unstable, unsafe and needs help from another country. Another feature that the country is losing control is that civilians are armed with lethal weapon in public areas suggesting that there is no law, no control in cities means that VIP or special operations like CIA are requested to have personal outpost and protections which means that firearms are legal in this country and also means that special forces from different countries have to be armed and ready for combat.
The next scene is a long high shot of a special diplomatic outpost showing the audience how defended and functioning the area is then slowly moved to the American flag suggesting that this film is going to be another America film. They included a scene of the inside of the outpost showing feature of security details such as images from drones feed and a digital map of the area suggesting that this base is well defended, ready and filled with innocent people and VIP. After this scene, they moved to protection details showing the audience the protection force or quick reaction team and introducing some of the main characters (Rone, Jack, Tanto) in their black suits suggesting that they are guarding VIP. The scene switches and moves to Tanto and the other main characters geared up in combat gear and moving fast and aggressively holding lethal weapons showing to the audience that there will be a lot of action and gun fight. The non-diegetic music that they played throughout the trailer combined with a radio voice create a sense of sad and haunting.
The next scene is a black page with writing in the middle " In 2012, the threat level in Benghazi, Libya was deemed "critical" which suggests to the audience that the film is based on a dangerous place. This excited the audience because they can sense that there will be lots of action scenes and intense moments. The scene starts to get more exciting because the next scene is cam held the shot of jeep with two CIA in trouble because they have hostiles holding lethal weapons and pointing at them suggesting that people in the country have forming groups. The music starts to get faster and louder.
The next scene they introduce the main characters or the security team and the outpost suggesting that this film is going to be about the security team. After that scene, they moved to a blurred scene of hostiles with lethal weapons chanting and shouting which suggesting that they are going to battle. This scene introduces the situation (the villains) which are hostiles attacking American special operation outpost. There were different features that the outpost is being attacked. There is a scene where protection force is being shot and scenes where they are hiding which suggest to the audience that the attack was so unexpected and the security force was not ready or prepare for the fight. The explosions, guns, firepower and a number of hostiles suggest to the audience that the enemy is overpowered. The scene moves to a long shot of another outpost looking at the situation from a far distance combined with an over voice from a radio saying that they need help which suggests to the audience that the security force is outnumbered and losing control of the outpost.
The next few scene shows the audience the quick reaction force gearing up and getting ready for combat. The scene cuts and moves to a long high shot of the hostiles charging towards a fancy house which suggests to the audience that the outpost has been overrun. They also introduce the ambassador which suggest that this outpost is important. The next few scene they show the quick reaction for handling the situation and trying to get back control but struggling to. After this, the next few scene is about the quick reaction force defending their outpost which suggesting that they are outnumbered and surrounded by hostiles. This also suggests that reinforcements are struggling to get to them.
last but not least, they show the audience that this film is a true story which suggests the audience that this film is a biographic film.
